Résumé
Marshall (psychiatry and addictions, King's College London, UK), along with new co-authors, discuss the treatment of alcoholism by generalists and specialists like mental health and other medical practitioners. They first describe the definitions, drug effects, causes, social and physical complications,… relationship to psychiatric disorders, other drug problems, and presentation of alcoholism, then address treatment in non-specialist and specialist settings, as well as assessment, withdrawal states, Alcoholics Anonymous and other organizations, spiritual and religious issues, working towards normal drinking, and common difficulties in treatment. This edition has been revised and updated to include new sections on interventions for hazardous and harmful drinking, dependent drinking, and the different settings in which alcohol problems are encountered. Information on women's issues has been integrated throughout. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
